Why we like it

Valley Comfort #5 is a 92-bed large assisted living community in Modesto. This facility does not appear to have a website.

Contact them directly for details about services, availability, and pricing.

  • Solid safety record

    A mostly clean inspection record: 1 serious and 0 minor citations across 11 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Nothing here stands out as a red flag, though it's still worth asking how any past issues were resolved.

  • Three-generation family ownership

    Founded by Glenda Gaither in the late 1980s after a personal caregiving experience; her sons Chris (administrator) and Nick (assistant administrator) joined in 2003 and 2007. Ownership and day-to-day management are the same people.

  • Built from small-scale roots

    Started as a 6-bed residential care home, grew entirely by word of mouth through the 1990s, and consolidated into the current 92-bed campus in 1999–2001.

  • Split-campus memory care + assisted living

    The 92 beds are divided: 48 dedicated to dementia and Alzheimer's care, 44 to general assisted living — two distinct programs under one roof.

  • Elective services billed separately

    Podiatry visits, telephone, cable, salon, and medical transport are available but billed directly by each servicing agency — not bundled into the base rate. Ask what those add up to monthly.

  • Confirm which license applies to your loved one

    The two wings (assisted living vs. memory care) are distinct programs. Verify which unit your family member qualifies for and whether a transfer between wings is possible if needs change.
